Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Looking SWEET!!!!!!hope you get the bed fix,hope to see more pictures soon & Keep on Truckin'' :metal: :cool:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

So I have a question about the nickel plating you've had done. The original parts that you have had nickel plated, is there any prep work you need to do prior like sand blasting? Also do you have a contact name and number I could get for the plating company you use?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks RC, you and me both. I'll post some pictures of the bed before and after once we get a porta-power up here
For the nickel I didn't do any prep, I'm pretty sure the company I sent it to blasted everything but they do it in house to make sure the metal is perfectly clean before it gets coated. And the company I used was called goldtronics, they were located in Mooresville for a while but they moved out of state about a year ago. If you want I can try and track them down and get a number for ya.

Well guys I've been working my butt off over break trying to rebuild the bank account and it's payed off. I placed an order with summit this morning for wheel spacers for the rear, anodized plugs to cap off my rearend, wilwood proportioning valve, gorilla lug nuts, and my wilwood master cylinder. I'll post some pictures when everything gets here:chevy:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks, no worries about tracking down the number. I am just trying to find a good local plater to avoid shipping costs.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Hippies!!!!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

:lol: decided last minute to go up and eat at Macadoos(?) would've been nice to see this project in person!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Hahaha they were definitely up here, they were probably all hiding from the rain shower waiting for them outside! And you should've let me know sooner, we could've met up. Let me know next time you're up the mountain!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Will do, it's only 45 minutes but good eats up there for sure. Next time I'll let ya know. It was a spur of the moment trip...and yeah the hippies must have been hiding from the rain, don't want to chance washing the stink off!!:lol:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

How close to Newland is Boone? I'm going up that way for work on thursday.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

The truck is killer. The paint is so shiny and slick. Amazing attention to detail.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

It's about 30 minutes I believe. If you make it up here let me know and we can meet up. I'm free in the morning before 11 but I have class and work after that

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it!! Got a little free time after class today so I cleaned up and repainted my 8-350 emblems. Tomorrows project is the super emblems. I used testors model paint and eagle one chrome polish. Let me know what you guys think

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

After

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Looks great!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Nice job! It looks like a new one!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks Duane, it took a little time but way cheaper then buying new ones.
Thanks man! I'm pretty glad with how they turned out. Got the holes drilled and installed them tonight. I painted the super emblems also but not too stoked with how they turned out so I'm gonna redo them.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Last one

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Looking good dude,keep the pictures coming.The progress maybe slow,but out come looks great.Keep on Truckin'' :metal: :cool:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Emblems look good!!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

All I can say is damn, just looked it over from beginning to end. Good work dude

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

I hear you on that. I did the same thing with a few of my GTO emblems. The ones that the chrome was too far gone I had to replace, but the others, I used model paint and a small brush, just like you. Tedious work, but worth it in the end.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Looking good!
